Chess Films

When I typed the subject title in a search engine, I was pleased to see a nice list, but I wanted to see what chess movie were coming out this year.
Maybe I needed a better set of key word, so I used these:
Upcoming chess movies
Movies about chess
Chess movies coming soon
=====================================================
I know that there is another chess movie coming out this year, but without typing the title, I cannot find it on the internet.
=====================================================
Does anyone know of a better combination of key words that will help me find this year's chess trailers?
"Life of a King" came out in 2013 starring
Cuba Gooding Jr. and Dennis Haysbert. I thought it was a great movie.
I recently watched the documentary about Kasparov versus IBM's Deep Blue. I found it quite interesting.
Nice movie. I played it during the last two hours of my chess-class in elementary school (12 y.o. kids). They really enjoyed it. The film shows to never forget to have fun, not just study chess, no matter how talented you are.
It's about more than chess, but chess is a central component, I highly recommend Fresh (I believe it came out in 1994).
The Luzhin Defense appears to be a good one, too. Based on the original novel by none other than Vladimir Nabokov.
